re: #120 Dr Lizardo
Yes it is. But my ex-wife, from the very, very geologically stable Czech Republic, wondered how on earth anyone could live in Southern California after she experienced her first earthquake back in December 2003. It was just a mild little shaker (we were up in Palmdale, CA at the time and the earthquake epicenter was San Simeon) but it shook her up. She got pretty nervous after that.
First earthquake experience tends to make you question your sense of reality
